With all the problems we are facing, including open borders and the importation of dangerous Syrians and Somalis, Springsteen gets hysterical over a state’s laws regarding public restrooms.

In June, 1970, my future wife and I attended her senior prom for Rumson-Fair Haven Rehional High School in N.J. The band the prom committee hired for the event had the most annoying “singer” I’d ever heard. He looked about twelve years old and spent the entire night literally screeching into the microphone. Everyone in attendance kept asking “Who is this little jerk?” Years later we learned it was none other than The Boss himself.

After marrying four years later, we bought our first house in Rumson, NJ. where she had lived before we were married. In our neighborhood of converted summer bungalows, we joked that we lived in “Rumson’s ghetto.” A few years later, Springsteen bought his Rumson estate, a dignified old mansion, on a large, park-like corner lot in town. It was very common to see him in the local stores and he was very pleasant. My favorite memory of him is the night he and Bon Jovi (another Jersey boy) attended and sang at a girl’s sweet sixteen birthday thrown by her father at his spread in Rumson. Can you imagine what that must have set the father back? Two years later, the same starry-eyed girl was arrested by NYC undercover cops after she tried to sell them drugs. Of course she got off with a slap on the wrist.

The point is that while Springsteen started out as a true “working class” guy, like any one else probably would have, he succumbed to the lifestyle of the rich and famous while adapting their clownish political ideas to cement his membership in “the club.”

IF and when open bathroom season comes to my state, I will be plotting to spend some time in random ladies’ rooms. Stand at the mirror, apply lipstick to my outwardly (and inwardly) male persona, for hours in a non-threatening but yet disturbing way, with purpose of freaking out those who enter.

Some legal insurrection will motivate some vocal moms to get busy with their legislators and get the madness fixed.

Rosa Parks in the front of the bus ain’t nothing compared to a rash of freaky 50-something males in the ladies rooms.

Yes, I did, but it is not a good idea for the sexes to use the same facilities. What is to prevent a male from being in the stall waiting for an unsuspecting woman to come in? In a sane world, nobody walks through the main door into the restroom except those who belong there. The 2 areas are completely separate, as they should be.
